Vintage 1970s Arnels Neoclassical Ceramic Urn w Lid Robin Egg Blue Pottery 10"

This vintage Arnels pottery urn with lid is a refined example of neoclassical revival design popular during the 1970s. Made of ceramic and finished in a soft robin’s egg blue glaze, the urn features raised white relief figures dressed in classical Greek attire, framed by draped garlands that wrap around the body. The sculptural bas-relief detailing contrasts beautifully with the smooth matte surface, giving the piece depth, texture, and visual balance.

Arnels Pottery was an Oregon-based company known throughout the mid-to-late 20th century for producing high-quality ceramic molds that were hand-finished and decorated by artisans and hobbyists. This method resulted in subtle variations from piece to piece, adding individuality and charm. The classical motifs and pedestal form reflect the continued influence of Greco-Roman aesthetics on American decorative arts during the Mid-Century period.

Standing 10 inches tall with its lid, this urn works well as a decorative accent on a mantel, bookshelf, or display cabinet. It can be styled as a standalone statement piece or incorporated into a curated collection of vintage ceramics, making it appealing to collectors of Arnels pottery, neoclassical décor, and 1970s American design.
